运动频率的积极环境决定因素仍然知之甚少。我们知道人们通常重视锻炼来恢复心理，因此我们研究了室内和室外锻炼环境的恢复质量，作为锻炼频率的预测因素。我们对苏黎世提供室内和室外锻炼选择的健身中心的 319 名会员进行了调查。户外环境被认为更有恢复力。对于每种类型的环境，恢复质量可预测过去 30 天内的锻炼频率，与社会人口特征、对锻炼益处的预期和个人障碍无关。我们讨论了为城市人口提供锻炼环境的结果。 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Positive environmental determinants of exercise frequency remain poorly understood. Knowing that people often value exercise for psychological restoration, we investigated the restorative quality of indoor and outdoor exercise settings as predictors of exercise frequency. We surveyed 319 members of fitness centers in Zurich that offer indoor and outdoor exercise alternatives. Outdoor settings were rated as more restorative. For each type of environment, restorative quality predicted the frequency of exercise in the past 30 days, independent of socio-demographic characteristics, expectations of exercise benefits, and personal barriers. We discuss the results with regard to the provision of exercise settings for urban populations. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
